Kanye has twice as many followers as the total number of Jews in the world. Hate crimes against Jews are twice as common as those against Black people. Dumbf@cks on both sides need to reflect on how their railing against the 'bankers' and the 'elite' along with not separating Jews from Israel on the left has led to the acceptance of Kanye's comments.
Who is accepting Kanye's comments though? Literally even Trump, Tim Pool, and ALEX JONES are distancing themselves from him. Elon Musk banned him immediately from Twitter despite making a big show about allowing any and all speech.
Say what you will about these people (and there's a lot to say, as they are all deplorable in their own way), but EVEN THEY at least publicly think this is a bridge too far. Let alone just about everybody else.
And I don't think there's much point in comparing hate crimes against one group and those against another. They are all deplorable too. And there are well more than twice as many black people than Jews in the US so it's not really comparable.
I don't even disagree with you that there are elements on the left (looking at you, Omar!) to blame for antisemitism as well. But I can think of few if any examples that have gone to nearly the same extremes Kanye has, and he is explicitly far right now, paling around with Milo and Nick Fuentes and saying he likes Hitler, not Stalin. Turning this into the fault of the left (or worse, some "both sides" nonsense) takes some truly impressive mental gymnastics.
After Kanye's comments his number of monthly followers on Twitter gained went from an average of 100,000 or so to 750,000. After his Hitler comments he only lost 15,000 of his 32 million. If you look at the replies it sure seems many are fine with it.
The bigger the train wreck, the more people want to watch.
Also, likes are better way of judging someone's current popularity than followers. His likes have gone down a lot
Finally, a lot of cultural right wingers/QAnon types are mad at him over his defense of Balenciaga, who are their new Boogeyman for some reason.
